htaccess redirect query is not loading page

Question

I cannot get this to work. I want

http://localhost/test/post.php?id=15

to show

http://localhost/test/post/15

My attempt loads a page without css on it and shows me my customr 404 error page

Options -Indexes -MultiViews +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /test/
ErrorDocument 404 /errors/404.php

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^post\.php post/%1? [R,L]

please help me out!

You will need to %{THE_REQUEST} variable for this. THE_REQUEST variable represents original request received by Apache from your browser and it doesn't get overwritten after execution of some rewrite rules. Example value of this variable is GET /index.php?id=123 HTTP/1.1.

Your code will be:

ErrorDocument 404 /errors/404.php
Options -Indexes -MultiViews +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /test/

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /post\.php\?id=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ post/%1? [R=302,L]

RewriteRule ^post/([^/.]+)/?$ post.php?id=$1 [L,QSA,NC]

this worked but all the css is gone. If I chance the path to make it work for this page, it will ruin all the other pages

For css/js just use absolute path in your css, js, images files rather than a relative one. Which means you have to make sure path of these files start either with http:// or a slash /.

I have my css file in 'test/css/style.css' and the post.php file in 'test' folder, before the htaccess stuff, the css was linked with href="css/style.css" so what should I put now?

do you know how I can fix that?

As I commented above your css should have link as href="/test/css/style.css"
